OpenAI doesn't have this issue so it begs the question which part of the regulation is not compliant and why, if it's just Google being lazy, or if they actively do something sketchy and don't want to stop.

Google is a much bigger target than OpenAI from EU regulations perspective. They are going after Google

I don't know. I have an organisation account on Anthropic to use Claude 3, and the credit card is norwegian, the phone number is norwegian, the email finishes with a .no, the country in the address says Norway, and the business tax id is a norwegian VAT number. Sounds like they actually don't mind the regulations for businesses.

What is 2% of Anthropic's global revenue, and what is 2% of Google's global revenue? The penalty for Google getting it wrong are much much higher. Anthropic can get away with moving fast and breaking things (like the GDPR). Google has no such luxury.

If other entities do the same thing without problems it's most of the time a you problem.
